Abstract
Machine Learning is a rapidly growing field within Computer Science and
Artificial Intelligence, with matrices forming its mathematical backbone.
This project focuses on the application of matrices in Machine Learning,
particularly in Linear Regression—one of the simplest and most
fundamental learning algorithms. In real-world machine learning systems,
data is organized in matrix form to enable efficient computation,
scalability, and automation. Feature values are represented as matrices,
model parameters as vectors or matrices, and predictions are obtained
through matrix multiplication.
This project demonstrates how matrices represent input data, output
values, and model parameters in Linear Regression. It illustrates the
application of matrix operations—transpose, multiplication, and inverse—
to derive optimal solutions using the Normal Equation method. The study
emphasizes how matrix-based computation simplifies complex
calculations and enables rapid processing of large datasets. By
establishing a strong mathematical foundation, this work bridges the gap
between pure mathematics and practical artificial intelligence
applications. The principles explored extend to advanced machine
learning techniques including neural networks, deep learning, and data
analytics, underscoring the crucial role of matrices in modern
computational intelligence.
